The ASICs is almost independent device. It's has own memory, so it uses pc only for internet access and sending proof of work. So you can use almost any device, including Tablet PCs and Android/Ubuntu based Micro PC's like MK802 III, MK808, e.t.c.

Will the new ASIC's, in particular the BitForce 'Little' Single SC from Butterfly Labs, run perfectly fine on just about any semi-decent laptop?

How much resources will it use from the laptop?

Even an old laptop should be sufficient. You might start running into issues trying to run one of the 1.5TH/s units from a Pentium 3 or something, but otherwise CPU usage should be fairly minimal.
